Unfortunately for him, the girls of the Lysander Spooner High School DramaClub have different ideas. You see, for [[NoodleIncident some odd reason]] all the guys in the club quit en masse, and as there aren't many plays for an all female cast, the remaining club members are desperate for new recruits. And Erik is exactly what they're looking for--namely, he has a really cute ass. If he can act, that'll be a nice bonus.
